-Recognition for Louie becoming UK’s first male golfer to win global Junior title-
Young six-year-old golfer Louie Goh was recently presented with a new Motocaddy pushcart and bag in recognition of his historic win at the IMG Academy Junior World Championships in San Diego last month, becoming the first British boy to capture a junior title at the event since its creation in 1968.
Louie, who plays at Woodcote Park Golf Club in Coulsdon, qualified for the prestigious event in California through the British Junior Golf Tour (BJGT), which is headlined sponsored by Motocaddy, the world’s leading electric trolley brand.
Having won the youngest category event (6 & under) in Championships featuring 1,250 talented junior golfers from 56 countries, Louie joins a stellar group of IMG Academy winners over the past 55 years that includes Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson Ernie Els, Jason Day and Tony Finau.
Presenting him with a new Motocaddy CUBE pushcart and a matching Dry-Series bag at a recent BJGT event at Belton Woods in Lincolnshire, Motocaddy Marketing Director, Oliver Churcher said: “It’s a fantastic achievement for a six-year-old to become a World Champion and everyone at Motocaddy congratulates Louie on his historic win. Having seen him play, we were blown away with how good his golf game is at such a young age, and we hope he continues to play great golf with a smile on his face.”
Commenting on his experience at the Junior World Championships, Louie said: “It was an amazing experience to compete in California. I had a lot of fun and a big thank you to the British Junior Golf Tour for the opportunity. I couldn’t believe how much hotter it was than back home and the greens were like lightning. But I like a challenge and made new golf buddies too. I can’t wait to use my new Motocaddy trolley and bag!”
Neil Randall, Tour Director of the BJGT, said: “We‘re incredibly proud of Louie and all the other BJGT juniors who represented us so well at both the IMG Academy Junior World Championships and the FCG Callaway World Junior Golf Championship in Palm Desert this summer. Our thanks go to Motocaddy for surprising Louie on his return to the UK. He was clearly delighted with his new gear and determined to start using them as quickly as possible.”
